接受FSA监管的外汇交易商到底有没有5万英镑投资补偿计划保障？对于此问题，笔者曾写信追问过英国FSCS（https://www.fscs.org.uk/），其工作人员到最后的回答还是模糊。没错，英国确实有金融服务补偿计划，并适合于大多金融产品，比如个人存款、保险等，但绝不适用于OTC场外交易的外汇保证金，原因很简单，因为很难监管，外汇交易的头寸是一份合约，而不再是单纯的金融产品。现在很多接受FSA监管的交易商宣称享有5万英镑投资补偿保障，纯属宣传欺诈。就目前OTC外汇市场来说，美国的金融监管最为严格，但仍然没有任何保障！

以下是和FSCS工作人员沟通的英文原件：

Dear Mr Joglekar

Thank you for your E mail of 29 July 2010 about protection for investments involving FOREX companies under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

I have been liaising with our legal department.

The important question is whether the contract here is a regulated “future” (and so falls within the definition of a “designated investment”, and in turn, is in principle covered by FSCS if the claim made is “in connection with protected investment business” or whether the contract is an unregulated forward FX contract (which falls outside the definition of a “designated investment”) and therefore would not be covered.

As stated previously, unfortunately, until a claim is presented we would be unable to provide a more definitive response as only then would we be able to carry out a full assessment of the eligibility of any claim.

I hope this is helpful. However, if you have any further questions please contact us again or telephone our helpline on 020 7892 7300 or freephone 0800 6781100.

Yours sincerely

Gary Robinson
Senior Claims Officer
